Kotojärvi Golf

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the absolute best time to experience Kotojärvi Golf, and what makes it special then?

We highly recommend visiting Kotojärvi during the Finnish summer, from June to August. You'll enjoy incredibly long daylight hours, often allowing for late evening rounds under a bright sky, which is a truly unique Nordic golf experience. The course is at its most vibrant then, with lush fairways and the surrounding nature in full bloom.

What kind of challenge can I expect at Kotojärvi Golf, especially for a mid-handicapper?

Kotojärvi offers a really enjoyable, yet fair, test of golf. You'll find some tighter, tree-lined holes that demand accuracy off the tee, especially on the front nine. The back nine opens up a bit more, but don't get complacent - the water features are strategically placed and will certainly keep you honest.

The atmosphere at Kotojärvi is wonderfully relaxed and genuinely Finnish.
